cmd/compile: better error when assigning to struct field in map

Identify this assignment case and instead of the more general error

    prog.go:6: cannot assign to students["sally"].age

produce

    prog.go:6: cannot directly assign to struct field students["sally"].age in map

that explains why the assignment is not possible.

Fixes #13779.
